That would be a blow! Will Mbappé miss out against Man City too? | OneFootball

Since the draw yesterday, it is clear that Real Madrid will face Manchester City in the Champions League round of 16 in mid-March. However, before the two decisive matches, there was bad news for Los Blancos. 

Kylian Mbappé could miss the first leg due to injury. This was reported by the radio station 'Cadena SER'. Jude Bellingham could also be sidelined with an injury. 

The French superstar has been struggling with knee problems for weeks. Before the match against Benfica, he finally had to take a break. When Álvaro Arbeloa was asked about the situation after the match, he remained cautious and said: "It is not my place to say how long he will be out."

He could be missing for up to three weeks, so he would be fit again for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16.
